I wonder if the confidence thing is why men can learn riding so much more easily as adults than women can. (At least they do in my limited experience.) Women are taught from the time we're little girls not to brag. Boys are taught that they're amazing even if they suck. Overconfidence can lead to bad things, but confidence certainly helps in riding.

I am decent at sitting the trot but have a LONG way to go but I tell myself I don't really know how to sit it so sometimes I ride like I simply can't do it. But then I focus on something else, and forget to worry about sitting the trot, and it all goes well.

I am not always confident in seeing my distances and so I don't believe in them when I do see them -even though my trainer has pointed out repeatedly that I actually am pretty good at knowing where I am - so I ride like I don't see distances.
